THIRD REICH ANTI-ESPIONAGE POSTER

Large Third Reich propaganda poster, 33" x 46 1/4", presenting a colorful image of two German officers in jovial conversation, as a bespectacled man in the foreground looks up from his newspaper to eavesdrop. The top bears the warning in bold text "Achtung Spionen" ("Attention Spies"), continuing at bottom "Vorsicht bei Gesprachen" ("Mind Your Conversations"). A printed artist's signature appears at lower left, with a publishers logo at bottom center, and a line identifying the printer as Wilhelm Limpert of Berlin at bottom left. Backed with archival linen, shows folds, tears to the edges and an approx. 2" square area of paper loss to the bottom edge restored with paint on the backing, else very good.
